If learning is the goal, I highly recommend taking notes into a flash card system (I use and recommend Anki). Then review your flash cards daily. You can always refer to the flash cards like regular notes, but by memorizing the information instead of just jotting it down you greatly increase the speed at which you learn new things.

I make photocopies of all my notes: the original gets filed by title, and the copy goes into a Leitner box after having key details redacted.
